[Verse 1]
Am D
What a friend, what a pal,
Bm Em
Only now I can see,
C D Am G
How you dreamed and you planned all for me.
G Am Bm
I never knew, what a mother goes through
Em A7 D
There's nothing that you didn't do
[Chorus]
G Bm Am D7
Pal of my cradle days,
D G
I've needed you always
Bm Em D D7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
D G
You sacrificed everything for me
G Bm Am D7
I stole the gold from your hair
D Em
I put the silver threads there
Am D G E7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Am D G
Pal of my cradle days
[Verse 2]
Am D
Greatest friend, dearest pal
Bm Em
It was me who caused you
C D Am G
Every sorrow and heartache you knew
G Am Bm
Your face so fair, I have wrinkled with care
Em A7 D
I placed every line that is there.
[Chorus]
G Bm Am D7
Pal of my cradle days,
D G
I've needed you always
Bm Em D D7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
D G
You sacrificed everything for me
G Bm Am D7
I stole the gold from your hair
D Em
I put the silver threads there
Am D G E7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Am D G
Pal of my cradle days
